How Should We Vote?

Vote Biblical principles. What does that mean? It means we should vote for candidates that support what the Bible instructs. It doesn't necessarily mean we have to elect a Christian. But a quality candidate should believe our rights come not from government, but from God. In this nation, almost all politicians claim to be Christian, because they know that's what it takes to win in the United States...yes, even still. Why do you think we hear so much talk about God in campaign years? But we cannot always be the judge of a candidate's heart. Instead, by their fruits we will know them... So...we should elect candidates that have a record of, or believe in Biblical standards. 

I want to list some of the guidelines that I feel are important to maintain directives of the Bible. I have given both partial verses and complete verses, but I have also given the text so that the reader can look them up for himself. 

While there are the obvious social issues that should require a Biblical vote, such as the right to life, traditional marriage, and even support of Israel, I want to cover a few more policies that may seem like something outside of a Biblical command – like whether we should have open borders. Nope. The Bible is very clear on that too. These are not simply my opinions and I hope to demonstrate that by backing all of this with Scripture. I will begin with the obvious, and well-known moral subjects, then move into some topics we may not consider Biblical at first appearance. Here we go:

These are the topics I believe to be a Biblical perspective that requires our candidates support. They are not listed in any particular order.

  1. Life

  2. Biblical Marriage

  3. Support of Israel

  4. Free Speech

  5. Freedom of Religion

  6. 2nd Amendment (Yep! Please read my explanation)

  7. Strong Defense

  8. Strong Borders

  9. America First!

    10. Economic Freedom and Strong Nation

    11. Work!

    12. Respect for the Constitution

    13. Rule of Law

    14. Role of Government

    15. Good Stewardship (church, family, community, nation, earth)

>Pray first – Ask for God’s guidance and that He will reveal His will to you. There are so many verses about prayer. Every Christian knows we are instructed to pray about everything and constantly. I will choose just a few verses:

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. And as well:

  • 1Timothy 2:1-2 “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."

  • 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

>Understand our rights are God given. – Our Founders believed our rights were given to us not by the government, but by God! From Genesis 1:27, the Founders understood that we are made in the image of God. From that knowledge, they believed that our rights are inherent to our humanity. That is no slight thing. We were the only nation to believe, understand, and enact that concept. The fact that our rights come from God rather than government ensures the freedom that God desired and planned for us! The entire Bible, (but specifically Galatians) demonstrates that freedom, equality, and dignity are bestowed on every human being, expressly by virtue of the fact that we are humans created in His image. Paul reminds us in Galatians (Chapters 3 through 5, really) that our rights are ordained by God and not earned by our own actions. The Founders knew this and based the forming of our union and the Constitution upon this knowledge. If our rights come from God, the Founders knew they could never be taken away – “unalienable rights”.

  • Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

  • Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

  • Romans 13:1 For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

1. Pro-life! – Honor life! That includes from the unborn to the very eldest among us.

  • Psalm 139:13 “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”

  • Jeremiah 1:5-7... I knew you before you were in your mother's womb.”

  • Luke 17:2 “It is better a millstone was around their neck and dropped to the bottom of the sea than to hurt one of these little ones!”

There is no such thing as a “woman’s right to choose”. That is leftist double-speak for allowing murder. If you vote for a pro-abortion candidate, you are voting to allow abortion and God will not accept excuses for the easy way out

Too, at one point we believed abortion would never go beyond the first trimester. It is now gone so far beyond, it is incomprehensible! With the former governor of VA stating in the case of a botched abortion, “we will make the baby comfortable until the mother decides”, we are growing desensitized to infanticide. But then, in my view, every stage of abortion is infanticide. Now, with the sliding-into-the toilet slippery slope, some states allow abortion up to the moment of birth. It is always just one step at a time down the slippery slope.

2. Biblical Marriage – We should vote for someone who supports Biblical marriage and will not support a distortion of that union in any form. Male and female he created them. These verses also speak to the transgender issues becoming so prevalent due to media coverage. We should not deviate or mess with what God created. Plus marriage is an example of God’s union with us - His bride! How dare we defile that when His word is so clear on the matter.

  • Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

  • Genesis 2:18 “Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.'"

  • Genesis 2:22-24 "And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man....and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh."

  • Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.”

  • Leviticus 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination”

  • Matthew 19:4-6 – Jesus answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginningmade them male and female, and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?' So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." 

  • 1 Corinthians 7:2–5 – One husband and one wife

  • Hebrews 13:4 – Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

We must vote for pro-marriage and pro-family candidates. A healthy family is the foundation of a strong nation. God created marriage and designed it to be one man and one woman. Anything else is counterfeit. Satan is the Counterfeit-in-Chief.

3. Support Israel – The Jews are God's chosen people for a reason. God's people were chosen for His purposes. They were not chosen because they were without sin! But we are to support them because they are God's people and His chosen nation. They are a witness to the world and through them the Bible was preserved and the Messiah came. Speaking of Israel:

  • Genesis 12:3 God states: "I will bless those that bless you and curse those who curse you." I'd say that's pretty clear. 

As well, Israel is God’s time clock and a powerful witnessing tool! We can know we are in the end times as we watch the prophecy about Israel fulfilled being shared across the headlines of the day. I believe this to be God’s foremost intent. It is about the entire world revealed through the nation of Israel.

  • Psalm 122:6 “Pray for the peace of Jerusalemthey shall prosper that love thee.

4. Freedom of Speech! – Vote for someone who believes in freedom! We need someone that understands the corruption that is endangering our right to say and defend what we believe. We are in danger of the nanny state when our voices are silenced by a biased media or a government that believes they know best and must silence what citizens say.

  • Acts 4:18-20 “So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered them, ‘Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard’”.

5. Religious Freedom – Vote for someone who will work to protect our religious freedom and understand that there are threats against it! We must preserve our freedom to fulfill the Great Commission! If we don’t stand for religious freedom, and really all of our freedoms, we risk losing this ability. If we do not protect free speech, we also stand to lose this ability to share this most important of all mandates – the Gospel.

  • Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

  • Acts 4:18-20 “So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered them, ‘Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard’”.

  • Acts 5:28-29...we ought to obey God rather than men.

6. Pro 2nd Amendment Our leaders must support our right to defend ourselves from enemies foreign and domestic. As well, we must maintain the ability to keep our homes safe from intruders.

  • Luke 22:35-38 "Then Jesus asked them, 'When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?' “Nothing,” they answered. He said to them, .But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.'” 

You will be hard-pressed to find commentary, today, that explains this verse as Jesus offering a means of protection. People try to distort the meaning of this verse; but it is clear. Older commentaries explain it in its obvious context. These verses were a change of instruction from Luke 9:3 where Jesus told the disciples to bring nothing with them on their travels. But in these verses Jesus clearly makes mention of a sword, which pointed to the trials they were sure to face. Perhaps, it is a picture of "peace through strength". Regardless, there are multiple examples in Scripture where we are shown it is perfectly acceptable to defend ourselves. (See “Strong Defense”, add David against Goliath for another.)

7. Strong Defense – Vote for someone who will defend our nation. That is the job of government! This takes “peace through strength”. We need a strong military for that. This understandably will be controversial, so I will go into a bit more information with this...and there are many examples in Scripture! Soldiers are used and highly respected throughout Scripture as a necessary force. God sent Joshua to battle. Joshua was to fight at Jericho because they were an ungodly nation living within the area God had chosen for His people! Evil cannot be allowed to stand, or the evil will overtake all that is righteous and holy. (think America) Verses about Jericho – Joshua 6. Verses about fighting in Ai – Joshua 8. There are many additional verses that support a strong defense to protect one’s nation and beliefs.

  • Deuteronomy 9:5; ...that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

  • Deuteronomy 20:17; “But thou shalt utterly destroy them... as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee

  • 2 Samuel 5:17–25 And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.”

  • Joshua 6 and 8 (above)

  • John 15:13; Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

  • Ecclesiastes 3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

  • Deuteronomy 20:1-4 When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the people and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’

  • Psalm 144:1 Of David. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle

God is definitely not anti-war, as long as it is for a righteous cause.

8. National Security at Home

  • Nehemiah 4:8-9 And they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it. (think America now) And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night”. 

Wow! Do you think we are seeing that? I surely think so!

  • Romans 13:3-4 – In context speaking of governments: “For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.”

  • 1 Timothy 2: 1-2 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

9. Strong Borders! Vote for someone who will defend our boundaries and understand the importance of them. It was God who created the nations for His purposes and intents. All throughout Scripture we see the importance to God of nations and boundaries. Boundaries are clearly outlined in Scripture. God told Abraham he would be the “father of many nations”. Sometimes, as in the case of Paul, God told someone not to cross a boundary.

  • Acts 17:24-26 – God that made the world and all things therein...And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

  • Genesis 11:1-9 The tower of Babel was to divide the people… “and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

God is the author of nations. He created the borders. We need to respect that.

10. America First! We are to take care of our own first! Yes we are to care for others, but we are to take care of ourselves first. We can't help the world if we are overburdened and in decline ourselves.

  • 1 Timothy 5:8 "But if any man have not care of his own and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel."

  • Galatians 4:10 “Be good to all...especially those of the household of faith.”

11. Work! Vote for those who believe in work and will work aggressively to stop unemployment. Welfare may be necessary at times, but it is never the answer for a lifetime. Welfare is actually socialism and the Bible does not support that. God is NOT a socialist regardless of what the left may want to portray! It may sound compassionate, but to keep someone bound to the government is dangerous. Look at how quickly Venezuela declined. We need to understand that can happen here just as quickly

  • 2 Thessalonians 3:10-13 If a man doesn't work neither should he eat. He who will not work shall not eat! 

They tried this in Jamestown in 1620. It did NOT work! Work heartily as for the Lord...not asking for handouts.

  • Colossians 3:23–24 says, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men".

12. Follow the Rule of Law – We must follow the laws already in place. As one example, no one gets to allow people to cross our border at will. That's breaking the law. And there are plenty of laws in place that are being broken regarding this. Neither is what is taking place at the border compassion – the Democrats' favorite excuse! 

The open border is endangering lives of those in this nation, as well as the lives of those coming illegally! We are to vote for someone who respects the rule of lawnot someone who tries to circumvent it. We are to submit to authority not only to avoid punishment, but because of conscience.

  • Romans 13:1-4 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

  • Romans 13:5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

13. Respect the Constitution – Our Constitution is slowly being questioned and undermined. We will not survive the disrespect for our guiding principles as laid out by our Founding Fathers. This document clearly comes from God written by men that relied on His guidance.

  • Romans 13:1-2 "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."

  • 1 Peter 2:13 "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors, as unto them..."

  • Titus 3:1 Obey magistrates... 

We are to have and respect a rule if law... there is no way around that. There can be no erosion of that fact without dangerous consequences

14. Role of Government The chief role of government is to protect its citizens. Safety and security are paramount, as well as protecting our freedoms. But we must never forget though we the people are in charge, we are to live respectfully and peaceably with all men and strive to live in accordance with the rule of law. Anything else would be anarchy.

  • Romans 13:1-4 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

15. Be good stewards of all God has given us. Church, families, nation, community, and yes earth...but we have dominion over the earth, not the other way around. Genesis 1:26-28

  • Genesis 1:28 “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

  • Genesis 2:15 “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” 

  • Colossians 3:23 "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;"

  • 1 Corinthians 4:2 "Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful."

  • Titus 1:7 "In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,"

We are living in a very dark time. Corruption and deceit abounds like never before. I won’t sugar coat any of this like so many other articles on the subject have. I cannot pretend one party aligns as equally as the other when it comes to Biblical values. One party voted God out of their platform at their convention in 2012. The parties and candidates have become as different as black and white, night and day, good and evil. It is time to speak up and quit pretending. If someone doesn’t see it, I recommend digging just a bit deeper into the candidate you think you trust. Media cannot be trusted. Go to the source; voting records; statements outside of media; and then base your decision on the Word of God.

In summary, we need to vote for the candidate that most closely aligns with these principles and our own convictions as Christians. And we absolutely must be informed, pray and stay active in the voting process. Stay in the Word of God and use it as the foremost source to find the direction our nation should take. Because we are being intentionally deceived. It is time to strive for leaders that exemplify character and integrity.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people mourn… Proverbs 29:2

There is a whole lot of mourning going on right now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some current deceptions:

>There is no such thing as global warming. This is a fear tactic of the left. Yes, we need to take care of our earth and environment, but not in fear or to the degree that we are choosing it over people. In Him all things consist and He holds all things together with His hand. This is not the way this earth ends. (See Ezekiel 38 and 39, Daniel 11; and Revelation) 

  • Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

>Forgiving Debt. The power of the purse is controlled by Congress; not the President. No single person gets to determine if a debt will be forgiven... that's up to Congress. Biden unconstitutionally acted when he promised to wave student loans. Harris is unconstitutionally promising 25,000 to new home-buyers. They are trying to buy votes. They knew and continue to know it will not happen.

>People use the following verse as a means to justify an open border in the name of compassion, or “the Christian thing to do”: 

  • Leviticus 19:33-34 "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God". 

But what is happening at our border is definitely not compassionate. Women and kids are being raped, trafficked and murdered. Death is rampant as illegals make the dangerous journey; and our citizens that live at the border are also put in danger. If you see that as compassionate, I have a bridge to sell you… Wake up!

If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. Proverbs 29:12 

Just think rather then the leader only listens to the lies, but rather, is actually the one spreading the lies!

Lies, Lies and More Lies - Rehashing the June Debate


While the first thing Jill Biden did after the Presidential debate is to claim “Trump lied”, the truth is Joe’s comments started with lies and continued through out his abysmal debate performance. I actually tried to count the lies and record them, but there were so many, I couldn’t keep up and I was losing the opportunity to hear how Trump responded. We have all lived it the last four years, so we should know them all by heart, anyway.  

I have become so weary of seeing the misinformation, disinformation, spin...whatever one wants to call it - I call it "lies" - that I decided I wanted to share a few of Biden’s most egregious accusations and distortions. I am not sure all of what I have listed here, were mentioned in the debate; but we have been living with them for way too long now; too often in silence.

  • The debate started with lies about the economy, with Joe claiming success and stating he had inherited a mess. This is simply not true. Inflation was 1.4% under President Trump when Biden took office and rose to 9% (a high of four decades!) in 2022 during BIDEN’s term, not Trump’s. 1

  • Biden cannot take credit for creating jobs, when he came into office and everyone was out of work because of the pandemic. One doesn't get to take credit for jobs already there, and to which people simply returned. He unnecessarily inflicted shutdowns and mandates upon us for way too long! Under Trump, unemployment declined from 4.7% to as low as 3.5% in late 2019 and early 2020. This was its lowest level since 1969!2 And further, black unemployment rate was the lowest rate it has ever been. His rating among blacks increased and is growing.

  • Notice the debate hosts didn’t ask about fuel prices. Or did I miss that? Fuel was under $2.00 a gallon with President Trump in office, and up to $5.00 plus, in some places with Biden.3 Biden stupidly used our oil reserves to make it look like he was bringing down oil prices. Through Executive Order, he stopped everything in his first days in office that had helped make us energy independent under Trump. That should tell us everything we need to know. Who's the dictator?

  • Trump’s tax cuts spurred the economy and Biden continually lies about the cuts only helping “the rich”. Obviously he doesn’t understand economics.

  • Trump did not say neo-Nazis are “very fine people” at his Charleston speech.4 This blatant lie has finally been debunked by MSM, (Main Stream Media) but those of us who follow less liberal news networks, knew the truth from the onset; because we saw the video that MSM refused to air. Biden still regurgitated this falsehood in his debate comments! It had been reported that he was advised not to bring up this narrative because so many MSM outlets had finally debunked this dangerous, but effective lie. Obviously, Biden didn’t remember the memo to not mention Charleston and he talked about it anyway. Even Jake Tapper had admitted and reported the fact that the Charleston narrative was simply not true, which is just another reason why Biden should never have regurgitated the lie.5

  • “Trump cages”. Those were OBAMA’s cages. Everyone should know and remember those cages started under Obama.6 Do they think we have forgotten? Further, under Biden, the use of cages has drastically grown among many other terribly dangerous border disasters through Biden's disastrous policies.7

  • Trump NEVER said our military or veterans were “suckers and losers”. This lie stems from an article written in the Atlantic newspaper in 2020. But the article named no sources or even the name of a single witness.8 The lie continued to grow with MSM refusing to mention that this statement has been negated with testimony from 19 trustworthy individuals. The truth is Trump’s actions speak louder than words, in the first place! Because of the way he treats our military and veterans, they know; and they return honor and respect with the same! Trump did tremendous things for our military and veterans while in office. He rebuilt the military Obama had destroyed, and Trump reworked VA with the best and most efficient care that we have seen since my husband (personally) started utilizing VA benefits. Veterans were struggling with getting care under Obama, with long waiting lines, many even dying while they waited. How can we not remember that?

  • Trump did not say “inject yourself with bleach” during the pandemic.9 If anyone believes that lie, they need to have a talk with themselves. Trump’s words were intentionally taken totally out of context and manipulated to make him look like a nut case. He was talking about the use of bleach and UV light on counter-tops and other surfaces. Good grief! How easily are we manipulated to believe what someone wants us to believe!!! The video was once available in full context to disprove this lie. He asked questions as a wise leader will. Please read about the full incident at the link I have provided. (Footnote 9)

  • Trump did not make fun of anyone with a physical or mental disability. The video used to create this lie was totally taken out of context and manipulated...you know “fake news”, “deep fake”, “cheap fake”...which they now accuse the right of doing, but they have done for four long, painful years. Projection! They took a video of Trump using his hand in a gesture he has long been known to use when using his hands to express himself in conversation.10 It was taken and used out of context! This supposedly took place in November of 2015. This goes to show the left was after him since the day he announced his run. Personally, that they even thought this through to create a story like that, says far more about lame-stream medial than it does about DJT. Prager U discusses it here: 

  • Oh! And “Russia Collusion” was also proven false over and over and over.

  • Then there is the favorite accusation that "Trump is a racist." It seems this is the most used slander of all of them. They use it for literally everything - even making his followers guilty by association! No. Anyone that will be truthful to themselves, knows this is not true. Everyone from every race loved him, invited him to weddings, couldn't wait to be photographed with him, and did business with him...that is, until he announced for Presidency. The truth is he has never shown any racism whatsoever to any race appointing a variety of people to cabinet positions and beyond.

  • PM Bibi Netanyahu did NOT endorse Biden’s plan for Gaza, but rather diplomatically (because that’s what good leaders do) stated Israel would handle the war as they deemed necessary to protect their nation!11 Biden's "plan" put horrible, unnecessary pressure on Netanyahu and the nation of Israel; and IMHO, the context of Biden's claim during the debate is diabolically untrue. Instead Netanyahu has maintained that "'The war will be stopped for the purpose of returning hostages and then we will proceed with further discussions,’ Mencer quoted the prime minister as saying. ‘There are other details that the U.S. president did not present to the public.’” 12

  • The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will continue operations” in Rafah, regardless of the dangerous pressure campaign from Joe Biden! Israel will FINISH this war even though Hamas is the one that started it! And God will be with them. Zechariah 14:11.13 It’s Biblical. Jerusalem is the eternal capitol of Israel. Again, Joe is the one acting like a dictator, when he unconstitutionally withheld arms from Israel, when Congress had passed legislation to send them.

  • The Border Patrol NEVER endorsed Joe Biden as he claimed, even releasing a statement DURING the debate, because the comment that Biden made was that important to refute!!!14 Biden also stated there is 40% fewer illegals coming across our border under him. In whose world??? Tom Homan, former Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and who has been at the border for decades said the crisis was never better handled than under Trump and never worse than under Joe Biden!15 You can watch that statement here. And here.  It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out if anyone is paying even the slightest attention to what is taking place in cities across America. “We have all become a border state” is the flat-out truth!

  • I am still shaking my head over the threats that say Trump will become a dictator; that he even admitted that fact himself, saying: "[He] would become a dictator on day 1." Oh good grief! No! What he said, when asked by a reporter, (almost mocking the question) was, "I will be a dictator for one day, on the first day, when I will rescind every. single, one of Joe Biden's Executive Orders." (paraphrase, but close enough!) Those Executive Orders, were in fact, what made Joe Biden the dictator wannabe!

  • Oh my gosh! Biden took credit for lowering the cost of insulin. Everyone should remember when that took place under the Trump administration.16 But aside from that, the bigger issue is Obamacare (or the Affordable Care Act) that has dramatically hurt Americans and the medical industry since day one of its inception.

  • The worst lie of all for me, was when Biden said no troops have died under his leadership! There was absolutely no acknowledgment from him of the 13 troops killed in Afghanistan, not to mention all the people and billions of dollars of equipment left behind there!!17 Say their names!!!18 We are on the verge of WWIII thanks to Joe Biden, with wars across the globe! Specifically Ukraine and Israel, as the most notable. Iran has once again been empowered by the Biden Administration, just as they were under Obama! No wars were started under Trump, and Russia did not even try to take more land as Putin absolutely did under both Obama and Joe...and that’s a fact.

  • MSM, as well as the January 6th Committee, intentionally left out Trump’s statement of “I know you are going to walk peacefully and patriotically over to the Capitol.” Liz Cheney, and the January 6th Committee intentionally did not allow in testimony, the complete video with that statement. And the MSM, though they were well aware of the full comment in his “Front Lawn” speech, totally left that part out with zero coverage of that statement. Here is how it was generally portrayed in MSM.  This is what he really said.  I watched it in real time. I knew the truth from day one, as anyone did who is not locked into MSM. Anyone who watches media from sources other than MSM, knew full well what he said and his intent. I was shocked by the number of my friends who had never heard that part of the speech. And yes, I will criticize “Republicans” when they are wrong - Liz Cheney could not be more wrong!

  • Trump, asked for 10,000 to 20,000 troops before January 6th, simply because he was aware of the crowd that would be there that day.19 No, duh! Heck! Everyone should have known! I certainly did! Muriel Bowser and Nancy Pelosi who were the ones that needed to okay and facilitate the order, turned down the offer Trump made. And again, in order to not show favor on my part, I will note a Republican, Liz Cheney, purposefully left out this fact from the January 6th hearing, as well.20 Nancy Pelosi, finally admitted that she was responsible for the protection of the Capitol...albeit, way too late!!21 And trust me, you will have to really work at getting around the false narrative when using Google to find the info. The left has control of all media and they will add their links first to the narrative they want us to hear. The fact is, she finally admitted it in testimony and you can read about that from a reliable source in the link I have provided. (Footnote 21)

  • Trump had no intentions of “overturning the election”, which was the phrase repeatedly used (even by conservative media) as if he tried in some illegitimate means. Trump only wanted the slates to be contested, which is absolutely Constitutional and which the Democrats have also done in the past, for finalization of election results. It only takes one member from each branch of Congress to start this process. What REALLY resulted from the January 6th fiasco, was this procedure was prevented from taking place. Who benefited from that mess?? Democrats did! Because our concerns did not have a chance to be heard! And yes, Mike Pence messed this up! Because he had a plane to catch. I think in his mind, he was done with his job and couldn’t wait to get outta there! (See, I told you, I know how to blame Republicans too.) It is easily provable that Democrats did in fact use this election process provided for under the 12th Amendment, even as late as 2016. It is standard procedure. Republicans (America really, because look where we have ended up!) were not only robbed of the election by a number of methods that allowed a cheat to take place, (from fake ballots; to closed doors due to plumbing; to more importantly, illegal practices across several states to unconstitutionally changing election law; and then the riots!) we were robbed of our right to contest the slate of electors. If Al Gore, Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams can still whine about being cheated, all these years later, than even more can we!! Because there has never been a more thorough and diabolical cheat!

  • As far as Trump saying "our nation is in decline"...what the heck would you call it??? Of course we love and are proud of America; but this is NOT the America we grew up in and it is my view, we will NEVER survive another government controlled by Democrats...at least until the Dems get their party figured out...but that does not seem to be their agenda. We all should understand what MAGA means after living through the last four years!

I know there is so much I have left out of my post. How does one cover it all? Those of us who watch media outside of MSM or in real time, have always known the truth. We were not surprised by Biden's debate performance, because we have been watching the exact same cognitive level for four long years!!  We have been trying to sound the alarm! Not in hate or disdain, but out of concern and yes even fear for our nation!! Because we have been watching the destruction of America, whether we want to admit it or not....and whether we offend someone or not, we must sound the alarm. We are there; there is no backing down from truth at this point in our history.

There. I feel much better now. I simply cannot let lies stand without response. No one should.

The Putin Interview and the Concerns it Brings

The Putin Interview and the Concerns It Brings for Israel

Disclaimer: I felt it important to write about the Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin. I do not mean for this article to come across as total admonishment of Tucker Carlson. I believe he has been a strong voice for conservative principles for a long time and he rightly has many supporters. I have long had only one problem with Tucker Carlson, and it all culminated in this interview.

I am not advocating for our involvement in Ukraine, nor am I supporting sending more money to Ukraine...at least, under Biden. This goes beyond Ukraine. It is being reported around the world that Putin granted the interview because he views Tucker as a sympathetic voice of Putin and Russia. And that is why I write. I view him that way, too.


Tucker’s interview with Vladimir Putin has now aired and the negative attention it created from the left is continuing, while admiration from the right grows leaps and bounds...at least for some from the right. Somehow, I find myself cringing about both sides of the narrative and feel the need to express my concern. 

For starters, it is my view, that Tucker Carlson, through this interview, is doing nothing more than giving rebirth to the Russia collusion lie. And all the same people are going to continue to regurgitate it and all the same people are going to continue to believe it. But that is only one reason why I think the interview was a big mistake. Tucker told us prior, it comes with risks. It sure does!! 

I am afraid this is going to hurt President Trump. What does Tucker think he's going to hear except for lies from Vladimir Putin? I just don't get it. Why do this? It seems he is desperate to prove he's right about the Ukraine War. Watching the interview, it seems Tucker led Putin nowhere, only letting Putin carry on at will...and at length. Tucker knew what he would say. He may have been a bit surprised about the amount of history Putin delved into, but that only strengthened what Tucker knew Putin most likely would say later in the interview. Let’s look at it step by step.

Tucker first offered us an opening video from the Kremlin the night before the interview. He basically told us his desires in bringing us this information: His concern for the war in Ukraine and how President Zelensky is manipulating us for money. Also, Tucker wants to be sure we know how naive we all are about what is happening there. Further, Tucker wants us to be sure to know he loves America... some of the things he says in this interview, and a follow up interview at the World Government Summit, plus the follow up video clips he does, makes me question that.

Then came the interview...two full hours with an opening disclaimer of sorts. This is the link to the full interview, but you can see his opening remarks at the very beginning. I think it is helpful to listen to those, to get a sense of both Tucker's reasoning for the interview and Putin's. Poor Vlad believes Ukraine belongs to Russia, Tucker informs us and the poor guy is wounded by the west.

After the interview, (the same night I believe) Tucker gave us a recap from his hotel room. (I think that clip has been removed, I can no longer find it.) Well, if not a recap, at least his thoughts about what had been revealed in the interview… “It may take up to a year for me to process everything,” Tucker explains. Good, this should take some processing!

“Putin is “wounded”, Tucker thoughtfully reflects further. Yeah, maybe. If a narcissistic murderer can be wounded.

I am not going to go into all the history Putin did in his interview. But I will go into some important parts that he left out. But let me start with where my apprehensions began.

Beginning Questions About Tucker’s Leanings and Jimmy Dore

I feel like I have written extensively about my recent concerns of Tucker Carlson. I had been cringing at some of the things he has been saying for sometime now. All of my concern beginning when he still had his show on Fox, and never fully agreeing with his take on US Foreign Policy. But it’s hard to buck such a powerful influencer, even if only in my own private thoughts. But then came Tucker’s interview with Jimmy Dore, and I found I could no longer be silent. I was enraged! Dore was regurgitating the tired, old, Communist ideals of the 1960’s which my dad had warned me about since my childhood. 

Throughout Dore’s comments, Tucker seemingly agreed; though he did try a bit of a rebuff a couple weeks later. That rebuff wasn’t much and it didn’t matter anyway, the damage had been done. Tucker’s Fox viewers had bought the narrative with a nod of Tucker’s head, yes.

In all honesty, I was sick. Shaken really. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I couldn’t shake it. That caused me to research Jimmy Dore. Everything I learned from that search, confirmed what I suspected. He is a progressive “comedian” (I have yet to see anything funny), by his and his followers labels. But I call him an old fashioned “Communist.” What I also suspected, I confirmed as true. He is a foul-mouthed, anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic (Yes, I make a distinction in those two labels. More about that later.) pot smokin', Communist wanna-be.

I also found on Dore’s Twitter page, (now X) that all his followers were ecstatic over the interview Dore did with Tucker. They were high-fiving each other, (albeit through words), that Dore was actually able to say the things he said on “Tucker Carlson Tonight”. They were mocking Tucker for allowing such accusations on a show they viewed as evilly conservative on the equally evil Fox news station. I saw their derisive intent, and it was almost the last straw for me and Tucker. But he was the conservative darling! It is hard to be strong enough in ones views to see oneself as accurate and millions of followers wrong. I tried to remain a follower, but pointing out where I disagreed with him just a bit more often.

Then came Tucker’s firing. I don’t know that I was surprised. I read commentary after commentary, post after post, about it. Everyone wanted to claim it was their issue that got Tucker fired...maybe it was. Why does it matter? It seemed everyone wanted to claim it was their issue for their own importance. Anyway, I digress. Tucker moved on and the majority of his fans moved with him.

Why did Tucker choose to host Jimmy Dore in the first place? I think it’s because he actually likes Dore’s anti-American, pro-“Russia is being mischaracterized”, sympathetic view. And yes, I think Tucker likes Dore’s anti-Semitic views too. Maybe I am being unfair about that. Maybe to be more fair, it is simply that Tucker just doesn’t care about Dore’s anti-Semitic views, because he likes everything else Dore says. But if any part of that is true, that should trouble us allIt should also concern us that Tucker has interviewed Dore on his Tucker Today show on Fox Nation; and Dore has interviewed Tucker on his show. Seems they are old buddies, despite Tucker's disclaimers. Dore is rabidly anti-Zionist.

It should be deeply concerning, because it is changing Americans attitude toward support of Israel.  I think that’s what Tucker wants. He views Israel as the same problem Ukraine is. Tucker doesn’t want to see any support for any nation by the United States. I used to think he was just afraid of war...I still think he is to a degree...but I no longer think that is his main concern. I now believe he is an instigator. He seems to love to stir the masses and utilize the power he has for his own agenda. He says he loves America, but how then can he regurgitate the same views as the likes of Jimmy Dore. MY GOODNESS! Watch this interview if you doubt my concern about Dore.

I found myself beginning to question some of the people Tucker was choosing to interview. I watched as Tucker’s biggest fans, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk started regurgitating the same stuff. I cringed as even Charlie started questioning Bibi Netanyahu in an unfounded way. And Candace Owens sounding down right anti-Semitic in her public war with Ben Shapiro. Tucker had interviewed (seemingly favorably) Jimmy Dore and he had been defending Julian Assange. Finally, even interviewing well-known anti-Semitic Alex Jones in a favorable way. They all have anti-Israel leanings!! Are we wondering yet??? Huge red flags. These guys are headed the wrong direction, and Tucker appears to be helping them along. Thus, the beginnings of my concern.

Enter my distrust of Tucker Carlson. I am a Christian Zionist. If you don’t understand that, think John Hagee.

Lead UP and Follow Up Interviews

Then came Tucker’s announcement that he was in Moscow to interview with Vladimir Putin. Ugh! More cringe-worthy news for me. Why bother? Does he think he is going to get even an iota of truth from Vladimir. He is trained in propaganda, for crying out loud! I know others have interviewed him...but one expects those kinds of things from the left! Yes, I know Tucker has the right to do so. This isn’t about that for me. It is about what is safe, practical and reasonable for our nation.

Before I was able to watch the interview, I first came across Candace Owens “Story” on Facebook and watched that. Oh, good grief! She was simply regurgitating all of Jimmy Dore’s narrative from months earlier. And I just had to shake my head as she carried on about the hero, Tucker is to interview “Put'N”. (Really wish she would learn to pronounce her vowels before “n”. She sounds like a teen-ager.)

Later, she did a full video for her show, Candace Owens, regarding Tucker's interview. In that video, she prefaced it with a message about Julian Assange. Using him, I guess, to show the bravery of such men as Tucker and Assange. Assange is a criminal. He didn’t have the right to do what he did, in spite of so-called “pure” motives. We don’t get to do that...at least in the manner that he did. Trump chose not to pardon him, or Edward Snowden. That should tell us something.

Why do they give such support to Julian Assange...again, he is an outspoken anti-Semite? How can they be comfortable with that?

I think it’s because they are anti-Israel...I am trying not to call them anti-Semitic, or anti-Zionist, yet. And though both Candace and Tucker claim to be Christians, apparently they haven’t gotten to Ezekiel 38 and 39, yet - The war of Gog and Magog otherwise known as Armageddon...maybe not even Genesis 12:3 - "I will bless those that bless you." and certainly not Zechariah 12:3 that informs us every nation will turn against Israel. 

But anyway, in both videos that Candace shared after the Putin interview, she espoused all the things Tucker has not yet said about his interview. I have said it before and I will say it again. Tucker is smarter than that. He simply lets people like Candace Owens say it for him. He has done it before!  Actually continually. Candace is so starry eyed over him, she simply doesn’t see how she is being used. Plus, she actually believes the things he says. Like Tucker, she was once a Democrat. Not sure either of them have shaken that from the recesses of their heart, just yet. I had to publicly address it on social media for my own well-being. My response to Candace’s videos went something like this. Because of space I didn’t have then, I have added more thoughts and some additional facts now. After Candace prefaces her comments with a defense of Julian Assange, this is what she tells us. For clarification, her views, though not an exact quote, are in green.

1. "Julian Assange is a hero." NOT! He is an anti-Semitic criminal. Both Candace, and Tucker Carlson, have said in the past that Mike Pompeo actually attempted to have him murdered. That makes my blood boil. It is an accusation that has never been proven. It has never even been a legitimate question from a legitimate source! No charges have ever been brought, let alone proven guilty; but they state it as fact over and over without even giving a source for their “fact”. Why do we put up with that??? I have written about that prior, so I won’t repeat it here, but you can read why this is so wrong, in my humble opinion.

2. America is an Imperialist nation. NOT And we never have been! And we have NEVER "taken stuff" as stated by Candace Owens in her “report” of Tucker’s interview. Neither are we Colonialists as stated by Tucker to Putin.

3. The “geriatric leaders” (read boomer) are ignorant. In truth, they know a heck of a lot more than Candace does and they are smart enough not to believe the propaganda of "Put'N". Her bashing of our “geriatric leaders” is her way of saying “boomer” with the same thought behind it. So disrespectful! I wonder if she places Trump in that category...yeah, I think she does, from her subtle comments and prior support of Vivek Ramaswamy. Search some of the comments she made at that time.

4. America is about to get us into WWIII! Read your Bible...it isn't America that will do that. That's their buddy, "Put'N". And it is all clearly lined out in Scripture. That is the part Carlson and Candace Owens fail to consider in their take down of America, while propping up and supporting Put'N. (Even though they both claim not to, it is exactly what they are doing.) And maybe it won't be Putin in charge at that time; but it will most certainly be Russia and he has had a huge part in all that will take place when we reach that time in Biblical prophecy. 

Re: #4 I recommend to Candace that she start with reading Ezekiel 38, and 39. That should get us all thinking. Further, she has missing chunks in her history of Russia that needs to be revisited. We need to go back to just past 1948, actually 1949 and see how Stalin treated the Jews. He used the term "nationalist" in a negative connotation too, just like it is being used today. It was a means and method to make them pay for their disloyalty... tortured, then shot. Did Put'N cover any of that in his history lesson?? No. Of course he didn’t.

PS. In her earlier argument with Ben Shapiro, Candace threw out what is to a Jew, basically considered an anti-Semitic slur. After her blasting of Ben she ended her tweet with “Jesus is King!” Yeah, Jesus IS King! But it should be said in love. Not as a fiery dart thrown at the target of the day. That was strike 2 for me after her take on Israel, which was strike 1. This little video is strike 3 and I hope people will respond in kind and say: “CO! You are OUT!”

Her response to Tucker’s interview was pretty discouraging, but not really a surprise after listening to her narrative the last few months. The above was pretty much my response to Candace’s interpretation of the interview. I felt it important to include it here. I have followed both Tucker and Candace for years. But after all of this, they both are on strike three for me.

When I watched Tucker’s video announcing the interview, I held out a bit of hope. Maybe it wouldn’t be as bad as I thought. Tucker made some great points…. As I said earlier, he promised it wasn’t out of love for Putin, but rather for the United States. Yeah, I don’t see it… Not with the way he conducted that interview. 

The Interview and A Bit More Russian History

Tucker, and those that put him on a pedestal, are incredibly naive to trust and believe a murderous dictator like Putin. No designs of world control??? Maybe not; because he only needs the nations that will get him to Israel. And he is moving rapidly in his alliance with Iran and into Syria! He is using Syria as a testing ground and a launching pad for Russia's latest weapons. And I believe ISRAEL is the nation that is Putin's goal!

I can’t go into all the history that Putin didn’t mention here; but let me share this article with some additional history that Putin excluded in Tucker's interview. Suffice it to say, Russia in 1949 used Israel for their own gain for a short time; until that is, that Stalin determined he needed to rid himself of the problem. He concocted a plan to destroy the Jews and the Jewish identity. He used the term “Jewish nationalists”. Sound familiar? It should. It is the same term being used against Christian conservatives, in America, today. And “nationalists” is the same term that Putin is using today, against Ukraine.

Outmanned and outgunned, the Jews desperately needed weapons for their defense. Communist Czechoslovakia stepped in and supplied Israel with dozens of military aircraft, 50,000 rifles, 6,000 machine guns and 90 million bullets – their provision authorized by the Kremlin." 
"Moscow’s impetus was not altruism – it stemmed from the Soviet desire to roll back the British empire and weaken Western influence in the Middle East. But Stalin’s motivation notwithstanding, the armaments he approved were indispensable." (Bold emphasis, mine.)

It was only a short time after that, when Stalin began to turn on Israel and attempted to rid the earth of their presence.

In 1953, Stalin further devised a conspiratorial plot where supposedly Jewish doctors were trying to kill high ranking Soviet officials. Search the “Doctor’s Plot” for more information regarding this. In 1955, after basically ridding themselves of the Jews, they established a close military alliance with the Arab states, which they maintain to this day.

The Kremlin would soon dramatically reverse course. By the 1950s Moscow became the champion of Arab nationalism, embracing an anti-Israel and anti-Jewish agenda – and would continue thus over consecutive decades.” (Bold emphasis, mine)

Yeah...Putin didn’t go into any of that history. Nor did Tucker ask. They both focused on the “Nazism” of Ukraine…

What’s the difference in what, how and who Russia aligns itself, now? What if it is again about eliminating a Jew? Zelenskyy is Jewish. That he is a Nazi is ridiculous. That there are white supremacists in charge of Ukraine doesn’t seem any more plausible than the left’s claim we hear in the US that the "White Supremacists are America’s greatest threat"...That according to the Joe Biden administration. Anyone with a brain knows that simply is not the case and a dangerous narrative. We need to think. Riiight! Putin is going to protect people in Ukraine from Nazis by sending them all to Kingdom Come. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? NOT!  That’s a claim from NBC. But Tucker and lame stream media are saying the same things...take it all with a grain of salt.

After the miraculous war of 1967, with Israel winning in 6 days, creating humiliation for the Soviet armed Arab states, the animosity and propaganda against Israel simply grew and grew. They tried to present Israel as the enemy to progressive socialism. They twisted the middle east conflict as not one of religious groups, but rather as a conflict of progressive Arab people and Imperialist Israel...basically depicting Israel as occupiers and an apartheid state. And more, even compared them to Nazis...everyone’s favorite attack, it seems. Israel is no more an Imperialist state than is the United States. Both Tucker and Candace seem to want to paint the United States in that way. Too much Jimmy Dore, methinks.

Depicting Israel as occupiers or an apartheid state, gave the Soviets the right (in their view) to oppose and attack Israel. This is Russia’s history. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know! "But Russia is no longer the USSR!" and "Different time, different state." Nope. Don’t forget Putin has said that the fall of the USSR was the "greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century

Let's continue. In 1975, the Soviets sponsored a UN General Assembly resolution that labeled Zionism as racist. Revoked in 1991 after the fall of the USSR, but today, Israel is the most sanctioned and lectured country in the UN, even over communist China, North Korea and Iran. And today, Zionism is viewed as the international oppressor and the enemy of the leftist revolution. Think what I said about Jimmy Dore. He is a Communist, in my view. This is apparently also why he is a rabid anti-Semitic...or perhaps he is a Communist, because he is first an Anti-Semitic. Why did Tucker have him on his show and seemingly agree with everything he said? Perhaps this is the reason Fox had to fire Tucker. Dore apparently doesn’t see what is wrong with the phrase “From the river to the Sea, Palestine will be free.”

This nation, (Russia/USSR) in what ever era it is, has a history of calling their perceived or real enemies Nazis! Do you see why I can’t get too concerned with Putin labeling Ukraine, as "Nazis"? It is Putin's MO for his enemies. It doesn't mean they are.

Tucker has led us all to believe that all of the chatter has been out of a concern to keep us out of World War III. It isn't! Tucker's interview (and even Candace’s interpretation of it), clearly reveals that is not at all what it's about! It's about proving Putin right and that America is an Imperialist Nation that always has been. You doubt me? Tucker said it in the interview...referring to the United States as one of the “Colonial nations” out to harass Putin. Colonialism and Imperialism are basically the same thing.

Colonialism is where one country physically exerts complete control over another country and Imperialism is formal or informal economic and political domination of one country over the other.”

And that America fits either of those descriptions should fire up anybody over age 30... Not just the "geriatrics". No. we are not Colonialists and we certainly are not Imperialists. This is the same preaching as Jimmy Dore, which Tucker sat and shook his head in affirmation while interviewing Dore. Then Tucker simply let Putin reiterate the same narrative. 

As evidence to demonstrate my concern with this interview and the danger it is to America, simply read the comments in support of Putin on Tucker’s social media pages! It is absolutely astounding! The majority see Putin’s propaganda as truth. Poor “wounded” soul. Doesn’t anyone think any more?

More History – Let’s Get Current – Lead up to Ukraine War

The first thing we need to do, to correctly understand Putin, is admit that he is an educated Marxist who served in the KGB during the Cold War, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Old Vlad actually believes 100 million victims of communism is not too big of a price to pay to bring about the Marxist philosophy beliefs he has long held. He actually believes in the purges that Lenin and Stalin used to enforce their rule throughout Russian/Soviet history. That includes the forced famines that eliminated enemies of the state, which includes the purge of the Jew, the forced labor camps in Siberia, and the strict propagandist control of all media. Putin, if anybody, understands and studied the techniques of agitation and propaganda; and we need to consider he is, in fact, using them in this interview. We certainly didn’t hear any of that history during his interview with Tucker. Shouldn’t that be a red flag for us?

Toward the middle of the interview, Tucker asks Putin who blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline. It’s a light moment; one of the few comical moments in the entire interview, when Putin directs his open hands to Tucker. Obviously, Putin blames Tucker. Tucker laughs and says, “[He] was busy that day.” It is one of the few times, we get a laugh out of Putin.

We easily get the message. Putin believes the US did it. Not a surprise at all. Tucker himself believes this and has unequivocally stated this on occasion. I don’t know if that is true. And I am not sure if we will ever know. But what I do know is it is wrong for Tucker to claim this without absolute proof. We expect that from Putin, but it should NOT come from a United States influencer like Tucker until we know it as a fact. 

What is true is there were Russia ships in the Baltic Sea within the area, just days prior. They had means and reason just as Putin informs us we need to consider. Maybe Putin did it to help justify the war in Ukraine. Maybe he did it because Nord Stream wasn’t even being used because Germany had halted the project after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Maybe because of that, Russia did it as a message to Germany that they will NEVER get gas from Russia? Who knows what evil lurks in that man’s mind? I don’t. Maybe it was Ukraine. Or Maybe it was the UK on their own without US help. Maybe it was Sweden. I just don’t like a US citizen, like Tucker Carlson, blaming it on our nation without any proof. 

But Tucker did the same thing in regard to his accusation that then CIA Director, Mike Pompeo, tried to have Julian Assange murdered. There is no proof of that or any justification for that kind of comment. Yet both Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens have adamantly stated that as fact. Present all the scenarios or keep your mouth shut, Tucker. 

At Tucker’s prompting, Putin tries to convince us that he has no intentions of invading Poland. This is what Tucker wants us to believe too. He has claimed it many times; telling us that it is only the “military industrial complex” that wants us to believe this. In fact, they want us to believe that this is just giving the “military industrial complex” a reason to keep us at war. They want us to believe the war is all “only about money”….or maybe, just maybe they simply believe it is American Imperialism. Whatever! What is obvious, for them, it is all America’s fault.

Listen carefully. Perhaps there is a hint here, too, as to why Putin’s claim that he has no intention to invade Poland, is a deliberate lie. He says it plainly in this clip for anyone paying attention. There is another means to get gas from Russia to Germany through Poland. 

He so badly wants us to believe Putin has no intention of invading Poland. But if Tucker was listening carefully, in his own interview Putin tells us exactly why. There is a secondary means for a pipeline like Nord Stream through Poland, which can be utilized if Putin can control it. Yamal Europe Pipeline - 2552 mile pipeline through Poland and into Germany through Belarus. The Polish section quit operation in 2022. That's reason enough for a man like Putin to want to control Poland. Tucker missed that. Why should that surprise us coming from a man like Putin who wants to control everything in his nation. Poland has come out with concern for no fewer than ten lies Putin told about Poland, along with his revisionist history about Russia. None of which was challenged by Tucker. I am certainly no expert on this stuff, but that seems to be fairly easy conclusion to reach, doesn't it? What better reason for a man like Putin to want to take Poland too. Back up for the loss of the Nord Stream Pipeline.

It is important to remember that Putin is a Marxist. And he is doing the things Marxists do! From the Heritage Foundation - June 7, 2022

Given his KGB training, it was inevitable that Putin would manipulate elections, rewrite the Russian constitution, imprison and even poison his opponents, close down Memorial and every other NGO that called attention to the crimes of Marxism-Leninism, order the brutal subjugation of Chechnya, seize Crimea, and invade Ukraine.”

I think Tucker has forgotten that, or he simply doesn’t believe it. And who knows for what reason! .

Biblical Concerns

I realize I have covered many personalities and various subject matter in this article; and perhaps it seems I am meandering. But it is for a reason. What is the common thread with Julian Assange, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Jimmy Dore...oh, and Put’N? They are all anti-Israel. And I will even add a couple more names to that list; one that Tucker has been aligning himself with only since leaving Fox. And that would be Alex Jones. To a lesser degree Tulsi Gabbard, Glenn Greenwald and Col. Doug MacGregor, all of whom he loved to interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight; none of whom will ever have Israel’s back, but whom all agreed with Tucker's ideas of foreign policy. Other than Assange and Jones, I won’t call any of them anti-Semitic. But they are anti-Israel, and I most certainly believe them to be anti-Zionist. They do not understand the place Israel holds in God’s view. Israel is the apple of His eye.

 “For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.”  Zechariah 2:8

And it seems they have all chosen to leave Israel in the dust, ignoring all Scripture to pray for and support Israel. They ignore, or don’t know all the Scripture as to why God instructs us this way. The Jew is God’s Chosen People and Israel is God’s time clock. In the first book of the Bible, God tells us He will bless those that bless Israel, and curse those that curse Israel. Genesis 12:3 That’s a direct instruction, if not viewed as a distinct command.

I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you.” Genesis 12:3

As I said earlier, anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist are not the same thing. One can be anti-Israel without being anti-Semitic. There is a distinct difference. But that doesn't matter in the greater scheme of things. They might as well be one in the same. Some believe that anti-Zionism is an evolution of anti-Semitism, and I believe that is true. But I also believe there is a more distinct difference. To be an anti-Zionist is more political/religious where anti-Semitism is good old-fashioned racism. I believe there are Jews within Israel who are in fact anti-Zionists. And they would freak out over a comment like “Bibi Netanyahu is placed by God for such a time as this.” There. I think you get the idea. To explain my view a bit further, when I say “anti-Israel” I am referring to a disdain or lack of support only for the nation. I am not referring to anything anti-Semitic like a hatred or distrust for the people. Neither am I referring to the faith as in Anti-Zionism. I am simply referring to someone who dislikes and does not support the nation of Israel.

We are starting to see more of an anti-Israel position in our Congress, who just this week refused to pass a stand alone bill in support of Israel. Truly a shame. We are moving closer to "every nation will turn against Israel." Zechariah 12:3. That said, there are also virulent anti-Semitics and anti-Zionists. Think The Squad: Ilhan Omar, AOC, Ayanna Presley, Rashida Tlaib; it has grown to include Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Greg Casar, and Summer Lee. And I believe, Pramila Jayapal.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3

WWIII, or perhaps more correctly, “Armageddon”, (which I personally believe will be WWIII) doesn’t begin with Ukraine invading anyone. It will begin with Russia invading Israel. Ezekiel 38:15. “The country to the uttermost north." Look at a globe. That nation is Russia, and it is in direct alignment with Jerusalem, the nation furthest North.

"And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:" Ezekiel 38:15

Again, Russia - "the country to the utter-most North" - will one day invade Israel and start the Final Battle. What more do we need to know? It's not like a propagandist-in-chief is going to tell the truth.

Iran, who is strategically aligned with Russia is what used to be known as Persia which the Bible speaks of in Daniel 7 as the "bear". The two million man army that comes in and helps them out is believed by theologians to be China. Putin made very clear his alliance with China, saying China is not at all an aggressive nation, basically debunking Tucker's concern. He tells Tucker we are hurting ourselves by not trusting China. "Limiting cooperation with China", he tells him..."is only hurting yourself."

I really don't care what all the political pundits say. One can find a myriad of ideas on both sides. I only care what the Bible says. And it says Russia, Persia and China align against Israel. And the whole world knows, just as Putin says here, Russia and China are aligned.

However, I do not believe we are there yet. As I said earlier, the Bible says every nation will turn against Israel; so we are not there yet. Just last week, to their credit, following President Trump's lead from 2018, Argentina is the latest nation to claim Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move their embassy there. Even as the United States withdraws support, Argentina stands will Israel, so no, we aren't there yet.

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (Bold emphasis mine.)

Since according to the Bible which says EVERY nation will turn against Israel, Argentina, believe it or not, is a buffer for us right now. I firmly believe that. There are others, that will stand with Israel until that dreaded day.

The Scriptures I just mentioned should give us a clear picture that Tucker and Candace just don’t seem to understand. That this is exactly why we need to stand with Israel.

Summary

Why have I decided to spend so much time and attention on this interview?

I am deeply concerned with what I am seeing espoused by one of the greatest influencers of conservative minds. I know of no one who holds more respect for conservatives than Tucker Carlson. It has only grown since his firing at Fox...in fact, I think that simply legitimized him to his viewers, that want nothing more than to have someone to trust. The comments I am seeing throughout social media only validate my concerns. It seems everyone is falling at Tucker’s feet. The only problem is, that rather than seeing it as an opportunity to peek into the mind of a murderous communist, as everyone loves to say to justify their support of the interview, they are actually seeing Putin as a “wounded” “Christian” leader who has been betrayed by the west generally, and the United States specifically!

Those that want to support this interview and believe in Tucker, love to say Tucker has the right as a journalist. And he does!!! But is it wise? The comments of all those standing in defense of Tucker are downright frightening. There is absolutely no criticism of Putin. They all say what a great leader he is, as if they have fallen hook, line and sinker for his narrative. The scariest thing is, I believe they actually have!

We need to consider a bit more thoroughly everything we have seen in this interview. But there is no way we can properly absorb it, and dissect it if we do not consider and understand who Vladimir Putin really is.

First and foremost we should be judging Putin by his previous actions, the alliances he holds, and only then should we consider what his words tell us. His true desires are there if one listens carefully. He is an adept, trained propagandist, but if we are wise and careful and not afraid to question, we can still see who he really is. My fear is nobody seems to be doing that!!! At least, very few. We simply cannot let this narrative about Vladimir Putin stand.

As prime minister and president, Putin has moved again and again to build a new Russian empire, most recently in his invasion of Ukraine. We can deal effectively with Putin only if we accept how much he is in thrall to Marxism-Leninism and its core idea that political power grows only out of the barrel of a gun.” Heritage Foundation

It’s who he is...whether we want it to be or not. And regardless of what Tucker Carlson tries to make us believe.

Both Tucker Carlson, and his little protege, Candace Owens, claim to be Christians. I won’t dispute that. It has been reported both are prior Democrats. I have heard Tucker deny that; but there is a part of him that reveals a liberal bent. However, it is my belief that neither have a complete understanding of the Bible, perhaps as new Christians; or maybe not very informed ones. It is also my belief that neither of them have actually removed all their former, liberal views from the recesses of their heart. There is still a very real part of them that holds to those views; and they are revealed in the way they view America (A Colonialist, and even an Imperialist nation - "America does what America does best," comment from Candace! grrrr) It is very obvious to me in the way they promote the foreign policy views that were once considered Democrat strategy.

Why do I see this as so dangerous? It’s simple. This is the exact narrative that will eventually aid in the fulfillment of Scripture, that every nation will turn against Israel. I believe they are helping the United States get there. They are greatly influencing minds and attitudes about our nation, about Russia and about Israel. That trickles down to all of us and eventually influences our politics.

Zechariah 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be  gathered together against it.

All means all! And someone is going to make sure we get there...whether it be knowingly or only unwittingly. I haven’t yet figured out which category Tucker fits into...or maybe I just don’t want to believe it.
